Our Leaders

Canyon Cappola, while still relatively new to Horse Archery, has been working with and assisting local mounted archery clubs with training and basics of horse archery since 2015. Dedicated to making sure that every skill level of rider and shooter have a place to call home, Canyon founded Northwest Nomad Warriors, along with partner Kristen Andersen, in 2016, and together they are proud to have been the starting home for a good number of the Pacific Northwest region’s new mounted archers.​In addition to running the Nomad Warriors, Canyon is also the importer/distributor for Alibow Traditional Asian Bows/Arrows & Accessories, Koc & Vermil Nocks, & Custom Nomad Quivers from Knavish Designs, and Chief Goat-Wrangler for Night Heron Farm. In his spare time, Canyon can most often be found shooting in the backyard, or planning his next HA Equipment acquisition.
